I’m one of the sad souls who still hasn’t purchased or played this game. It’s on my bucket list of games to get as I clear up my backlog. Regardless, it’s glad to hear some positivity here. Thanking players is always the right route instead of blaming them.
I think bringing back the series would do great. There’s been a big resurgence in cartoon-adventure titles with hits like Odyssey, Crash, and a few successful indie titles like A Hat in Time. If Sony is willing to put a ton of money into Ratchet and Sackboy, I think Jak and Daxter should get another shot too.
I never owned this game but I played it before and remember it being a ton of fun. Definitely one of the better 3D Sonic games of the bunch. I’d definitely buy this if it’s true!
Nah. I got the original remaster I can run on my PS4 Pro at like near 4K with 60FPS.
I’m assuming this “remake” would run on the sequels engine/infrastructure. If they did that... I’d still probably skip it. Maybe I’d pick it up for like $20 or $30 if I got really desperate to play the game again down the road. That’s about it.
I know they can be working on multiple projects at once, but I’d really like to see them focus on another Uncharted, or even better, Jak and Daxter! Or something else entirely new. We shall wait and see.
I was going to give it a go but I just found out that “Apple Arcade” is a subscription service. I would have happily paid $5 or $10 (maybe even a little more) for a Mario Golf/Hot Shots Golf style game on my phone.
Eh, I’ll just use an emulator or something I suppose. Phones are pretty powerful these days anyways.
I’m a sucker for nostalgia and comforting games. So replaying older games just brings backs memories and feels a bit more natural to play through since I know most of what’s going to happen. Obviously I still want to play through new experiences, but sometimes I just want to relax and play through a “comfort food” type game.
It also helps that some games offer near limitless ways to replay them, like Pokémon. Each time I play I always have a different team and sometimes I even change the rules a bit. Quite a lot of fun.
Glad to hear the main game gets a bit difficult but most of the infuriating parts come from 100%ing it. These kind of games I like to play through normally first and I go back and 100% based on my enjoyment. Will definitely pick it up!
@Max2574 I’m going to pick this game up soon and have been hearing a lot about the difficulty. Is just completing the game super difficult or is it mainly just 100%ing it? I do like a good challenge but I’ve heard a few people say it’s overwhelmingly difficult at times.
Oh wow. Season 4 already. I dropped off midway through season 1 and hopped back in a couple times during the beginning of 2. It was a lot of fun but it was annoying when you or a friend got knocked out early and everyone just had to watch the last player go through the remaining games. Plus it was a bit repetitive but now there seems to be a lot more courses. Definitely a game fun in short spurts for me.
Regardless, this gravity-altering update looks fun. Perhaps it’s time I give it another go!
A bit disappointed as I was excited to play this on my brothers PS5 but it’s not that big of a deal. I’d rather the developers be safe and take their time. Plus, I’m still playing through Dirt 5 and Forza Motorsport is still supposed to come out this year.
Great to hear. My brother has a PSVR and it’s a ton of fun with certain games. It’s not something I care to get at the moment but later down the line when I have a PS5 and possibly have my own place I can totally see myself snagging one if the games are there with it.
I removed my old comment because I thought the remaster was the one on the right... which I now know it isn’t. I might just be crazy but the older version looks way better too me... very underwhelmed. I got the originals on PC so I wasn’t planning on getting this anyways but I’m just a bit surprised is all lol. I’m sure the remaster will be good though.
I don't have one yet but my brother does... and lucky for me I am currently living with my brother
I do plan to get one eventually for whenever I move out. I've had a lot of fun playing Astro's Playroom and Spider-Man and I'm going to want to be able to play the new Ratchet and Clank and Gran Turismo when they come out.
I won't be getting a PS5 for a little bit of time but if I were to get one I would definitely pick up Sackboy and Spiderman. Out of the third-party titles, I'll eventually be getting DIRT 5 and Assassin's Creed Valhalla for PC when I free up some of my gaming backlog down the road.
I’ll be waiting to pick one up. I’ll play the new Spider-Man, Sackboy, and maybe even Horizon on PS4 Pro and wait for either a price drop or a limited edition to come out sometime next year when there are more games. The PS5 looks great but since I have a Pro it doesn’t look like it has a ton to offer me this year, especially since I’m not a die-hard Souls fan.
They breathed new life into three of my favorite franchises. I'd say that's commendable. They're definitely improving and I'm looking forward to seeing what they bring us next!
Interestingly enough this game was made with Unity. This might be why the visuals might not be super smooth all the time. Regardless, good review and I'll probably pick the game up when it gets a bit cheaper.
I have a PS4 Pro but I’m also fortunate enough to have a good gaming PC as well. As such I just buy the single-player exclusives I want physically and get all my multiplayer games for PC. Unfortunately there is very little Sony can do to make me ever pay for PS+, but who knows, maybe they’ll surprise me.
10/15. Actually pretty surprised I scored decently well. I’m a little cheesed cause I had a brain fart with the Sly Cooper release date, if I didn’t rush through that question I would have gotten it right lol.
Nothing huge. Far Cry 6 looks interesting. Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion look good nothing to freak out about. Really wish we got a new Splinter Cell... and also my promised copy of Watch Dogs 2 lol.
@Mrnotultra Yeah I was planning on getting this digitally on PC but with that box-art I may just end up getting a physical copy instead for PS5! It's so beautiful to the eyes!
Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of my favorite games of this generation. Definitely snag it if you haven’t played it yet. Really fun and still looks beautiful today.
This is such an amazing lineup of games. I’m really excited for Gran Turismo 7, Ratchet and Clank, Horizon Forbidden West, Spider-Man, and even Sackboy!
I never played a Dark Souls game but Demon’s Souls is definitely interesting me as well.
Glad to hear. It's what got me to switch over from XBOX to PlayStation. I'm super excited for not only The Last of Us 2 and Ghost of Tsushima, but all of the new exclusives coming out for the PS5 as well!
Wish they would just make these all night events. It's at 4 PM where I'm at and I probably won't be back until 6 or 7. Ah well, no big deal. I'll just skim through the stream and watch all those 4K trailers as they pop up.
I prefer 60FS as well but higher resolutions are nice. Let's hope most, if not all games, run at a smooth 60FPS and something well above 1080p. Even 1440p looks phenomenal if you're not right in front of your TV or monitor!
I remember being hyped for the original Project Cars back when I had my XBOX One. I got it day one and was soooo disappointed. The game was super difficult to control and the campaign mode just felt bland. I love Forza, Gran Turismo, GRID, and even the NFS Shift games (which were made by the same developers) but for some reason Project Cars just didn't mesh with me. I heard getting a wheel helped a lot but I didn't want one of those.
All that being said, I know a lot of people like these games and this new entry seems like it is more approachable to people like me. I'll wait for reviews and fan feedback, but perhaps I'll give the series another go when the price goes down.
8 out of 15. I’ll take it considering I’ve only really played a few GBA games I’d say that’s pretty decent. I have the trilogy on the Switch but I never got around to playing it lol. This is a good reminder to play it soon
Good. Too many developers care too much about length that their games end up feeling emptier or requiring more grinding. Valhalla seems to be fixing Odyssey’s main issues.
@FullbringIchigo Same here. Work has been crazier than ever and I feel like my head is going crazy with everything going on. I'm gaming still but surprisingly a lot less.
I love PlayStation but man, I’ve never liked the ergonomics of the DualShock controllers. They just felt like this weird blocky mess in my hands. Really liked the direction they took with the PS4’s DualShock and the DualSense looks like perfection to me. The design of the XBOX One and Switch Pro controllers with the beautiful white/black/blue aesthetics, HD rumble, and a built in microphone so I don’t have to use a headset of my phone for Discord. Can’t wait!
Good review but I’m passing. Multiplayer is the big thing I would care about and that’s gone. No Spec Ops co-op is just icing on the cake for me to skip this remaster. I liked Modern Warfare’s campaign back in the day but didn’t think it was anything incredible. There are much more interesting and ambitious shooters these days for me. Glad for those who love the campaign though.
That aside, maybe they’ll bring back the multiplayer later. Didn’t the Modern Warfare 1’s remaster initially only include the campaign? Maybe I’m just being silly lol.
The deep dive didn't do anything for me. My decision to get a PS5 at launch will be solely dictated by the exclusives. Hoping for at least one big game that I'm interested in to come out then. I also just recently got a powerful gaming PC so an XBOX is completely off the tables now. I got this PC for Forza, Ori, and other MS exclusives now
Solid announcements but probably didn't need an entire 1 hour presentation for it. I can see how others saw it underwhelming considering they spent a long time explaining SSD technologies and the overall hardware seems a bit inferior to the Series X on paper. I have a pretty powerful PC so this didn't do much for me, I really just want to see the exclusive games.
I actually really like it. It’s not supposed to be this radically new thing. It’s just CoD with a battle royale. I’m not even a big Call of Duty supporter yet I’m having some fun with it. The simplicity works well imo.
I already have the Uncharted Trilogy but for those without it, then this is a great month for this collection alone.
I could care less about Goat Simulator. My brother showed it to me last year and I got bored of it within 2 minutes. There’s barely anything you can do in it and basically no objective or progression. Probably won’t even download it even with it being free lol.
So yeah nothing for me this month but happy for those who haven’t picked up the Uncharted games yet.
